Pros

This is a company everybody knows. There's pride in tradition and culture of this company. i grew up with Microsoft products and always wondered about working for them. Compensation is pretty decent as a place right out of college and you do get a little awe struck as you are working inside the Microsoft branch.

Cons

The location is just too expensive for people coming right out of college to afford. Especially with the house price boom, I could only rent a small one bedroom apartment at the town. As far as leadership goes, there should be some more infrastructure in place for more open and innovative way for us to work together. Microsoft should not lose to Google of the world.

Pros

At Microsoft, you’ll get the best on-the-job training in the world, while enjoying a casual, flexible work environment where you can choose everything

Cons

Microsoft at Work was a short-lived effort promoted by Microsoft to tie together common business machinery, like fax machines and photocopiers, with a common communications protocol allowing control and status information to be shared with computers running Microsoft Windows. Similar efforts for other markets included Microsoft at Home and Cablesoft. By any measure these efforts were a dismal failure; it appears only a small number of devices using Microsoft at Work were ever released before disappearing without a trace. Microsoft has since re-used the "at Work" term for a section of their web site describing various tips and tricks for using Windows in a business environment.
